Fenris armor needs a buff or wolf/padded armor needs to be lightened. It's weird because in every other game, padded armor is lighter than ring mail and has nearly the same level of AC, but in this it's the equivalent of scale armor and as heavy. I'd like actual scale armor in the game, we have sea serpents and the scales they drop currently only make a tower shield. Can be expanded on, I think. Having chain mail, which would go great at swamp stage, would be nice. They could make it a lighter armor with good defense, using chain from the wraiths and iron from the crypts. Maybe some leather, troll perhaps? Deer? I mean, there are the right resources already available, just need the implementation. I'm not looking for a complete rework, just an expansion of options. I like moving quickly and shooting bows, but hard to do that when the only decent armor is all heavy mail, and you currently unquestionably need it for the mountains and plains.
